It should be remembered that the RSS or its allied organisations do not wield any theology-based influence on what Hindus should think about homosexuality or other issues, whereas the Christian and Muslim organisations that supported keeping Section 377 and opposed the Court’s decision have substantial sway over what their adherents should see as right or wrong. This is a structural difference between the decentralised, polytheistic Hindu way and the Abrahamic, monotheistic faiths.
